MY SCHOOL SONG..A LIFE MOTTO??

This was what I grew up singing every school assembly day, if I remember correctly, every Tuesday...for four whole years as an impressionable teenager.

I think it has shaped my attitudes towards love, life and living, without even realising.
(Thanks Bom for your blog has unwittingly reminded me of this song.)

Appreciate:

Our School Song

We cannot all be heroes and thrill a hemisphere
With some great daring venture, some deed that mocks at fear
But we can fill a lifetime with kindly acts and true
There's always noble service for noble souls to do
We're not all blessed with beauty nor everyone with brain
But each from every other has something good to gain
So let us make an effort to keep it as a rule
That each one needs the other within the Katong School

Then let us fill the hours with minutes truly spent
In helping one another towards a true content
So let us serve with honour and work for selfless fame
For credit of our country and glory of her name ..

in order, indeed this is a maiden comment..my virgin blog is officially 'penetrated'!!!!

pardon the analogy but man! this beats even the 'first' time, if you know what i mean.

I am indeed honoured...to have an ex-TKGIAN as my first visitor..

i am just so overwhelmed by old thoughts and ideas and memories.

the more i read, the more i understand that these words have shaped and moulded my integrity and life views.

so which year were u a priviledged TK GIRL? I was in the class of '87 to '90 :)

thanx again for dropping by :)
